Verizon officially launches the Samsung Illusion SCH-i110

Verizon has finally announced the Samsung Illusion (model number SCH-i110) – that new mid-end smartphone that we’ve been seeing quite a lot lately in leaked photos.

As hinted yesterday, the Illusion will be available for purchase online starting tomorrow (November 23). The handset’s official price is $79.99 on contract, however, between November 24 and November 28, Verizon will offer it for free (new 2-yr agreement required).

The Illusion is “designed with the environment in mind”, parts of its case and packaging being made out of recycled materials. You can buy the handset here at Verizon (update: it’s now free on contract).
